The United States Soccer Federation is seeking to score relief from the Supreme Court from a so-called radical ruling that could expose the organization to damages.
U.S. Soccer's counsel at Latham & Watkins filed a petition challenging a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit that allowed New York-based plaintiff Relevant Sports to maintain an antitrust conspiracy lawsuit against the federation.The original 2018 lawsuit from Relevant focuses on a 2018 FIFA rule that blocks foreign soccer clubs from holding matches in the United States. Lawyers for Relevant argue that the policy illegally restrains competition in violation of U.S.
The 2nd Circuit said that Relevant could maintain an antitrust conspiracy lawsuit since U.S. Soccer is a member of FIFA and agreed to its rules. A three-judge panel on the 2nd Circuit ruled 3-0 to reinstate Relevant's lawsuit.
